Simple Simon Over
The simple Simon over bend is a knot belonging to the category bend knot, bend. The simple Simon under holds well even with slippery synthetic ropes, but is less secure than the similar simple Simon under. The difference is just whether the green working end goes over the green standing (loaded) end (Simple Simon over) or under the green standing (loaded) end (simple Simon under).

Simple Simon Under
The simple Simon under bend is a knot belonging to the category bend. It was invented by Harry Asher. It is more secure than the similar Simple Simon over and more effective with quite large differences in thickness of the two ropes. The simple Simon under holds well even with different sized ropes, or slippery synthetic ropes.

Sheet Bend
The sheet bend (also known as becket bend, weaver's knot and weaver's hitch) is a bend. It is practical for joining lines of different diameter or rigidity. It is quick and easy to tie, and is considered so essential it is the first knot given in the '' Ashley Book of Knots''. Additionally, it is one of the six knots given in the International Guild of Knot Tyers' Six Knot Challenge, along with the clove hitch, bowline, reef knot (square knot), round turn and two half-hitches, and sheepshank. The sheet bend is related in structure to the bowline; like the bowline, it has a tendency to work loose when not under load. For increased security, it is sometimes recommended that one add another turn in the smaller end, making a double sheet bend; in most cases, however, a single sheet bend should suffice. As a bend, its advantages lie in its simplicity and non-jamming properties. It is commonly taught in Scouting. Definition The term "sheet bend" derives from its use bending r ...

Knot
A knot is an intentional complication in cordage which may be practical or decorative, or both. Practical knots are classified by function, including hitches, bends, loop knots, and splices: a ''hitch'' fastens a rope to another object; a ''bend'' fastens two ends of a rope to each another; a ''loop knot'' is any knot creating a loop; and ''splice'' denotes any multi-strand knot, including bends and loops. A knot may also refer, in the strictest sense, to a stopper or knob at the end of a rope to keep that end from slipping through a grommet or eye. Knots have excited interest since ancient times for their practical uses, as well as their topological intricacy, studied in the area of mathematics known as knot theory. History Knots and knotting have been used and studied throughout history. For example, Chinese knotting is a decorative handicraft art that began as a form of Chinese folk art in the Tang and Song Dynasty (960–1279 AD) in China, later popularized in t ...

Bend Knot
This is a list of bends. A bend is a knot used to join two lengths of rope. They are used in a variety of situations, including climbing, sailing, and securing loads. Bend knots are classified based on their ability to be tightened or released, their resistance to slipping, and their strength. Some common types of bend knots include the double fisherman's knot, the double overhand knot, and the double figure-eight knot. Bend knots are important because they allow two ropes to be securely joined together, enabling the combined ropes to support weight or transmit force. It is important to choose the appropriate bend knot for the specific task at hand, as some bend knots may be stronger or more secure than others. The sheet bend is the classic bend. Misuse of reef knot as a bend The common reef knot (square knot) is sometimes mistakenly tied as a bend. When used as a bend rather than a binding knot, the reef knot will capsize under sufficient tension. For this reason, the reef k ...

Hitch (knot)
A hitch is a type of knot used to secure a rope to an object or another rope. Hitches are used in a variety of situations, including climbing, sailing, and Load securing, securing loads. They are classified based on their ability to be tightened or Knot#Releasability, released, their resistance to Slipping (knot), slipping, and their Knot strength, strength. Some common types of hitch knots include the clove hitch, the timber hitch, and the round turn and two half-hitches. Physical theory A simple mathematical theory of hitches has been proposed by Bayman. It predicts whether or not a hitch will hold, given the diameter of the post, the diameter of the rope, and the coefficient of friction between the post and the rope. The theory has been extended by Maddocks and Keller, including an approximate treatment of knots that are not hitches. For example, they predict that a square knot will hold when the coefficient of friction of the rope with itself is greater than 0.24. These predi ...
